This rate thing extends well to running a marathon too. The horrifying thing is seeing the world record marathon time of 2 hours 4 minutes 26 seconds expressed as a 4:43 mile pace stretched over 26 miles, 385 yards. Mind boggling.

Also I have a similar spreadsheet going for my food budget over the summer. Given how much I’ve spent now and what day it is, how much will I likely spend over the whole summer, when will I run out of a certain amount of funds at the current rate, etc.
